Leading 2-0, the Girondins conceded a draw (2-2) on Wednesday evening and remain in grave danger of relegation. The Clermontois create a breath of fresh air by taking a win against Troyes (1-0), Lorient beat Metz (1-0) and Reims beat Lille (2-1).
Bordeaux cracks again for the score
Under pressure after their defeat in Lyon (6-1), the Bordelais got off to a good start against Saint-Etienne, scoring two goals from a corner in 25 minutes. The first by Sékou Mara (16th), served by Ignatenko. Minutes after they had a great chance with a header, the young Girondins landed low to the ground and opened the scoring. Jean Onana doubles the bet (24th), this time on a corner from Dilrosun.
But even by taking the break, the Girondins are never safe and they have proven it once again. They saw the Greens narrow the score for the first time with a goal from Denis Bouanga (33rd), on a two-on-one with Ryad Boudebouz. Upon returning from the locker room, the Bordeaux folks stopped playing and logically saw Nordin equalize (65th). A few minutes later they are even saved by their crossbar. In the match of fear, Bordeaux burst.
With a burst of Bordeaux pride, Jimmy Briand thought he had scored the liberation goal (89th). After long minutes, it was eventually disallowed due to Niang’s offside. This draw, combined with the victories of Lorient and Clermont, further complicates matters for Bordeaux.

Clermont wins from Troyes on the wire
It all happened at the end of the match between Troyes and Clermont. The Auvergnats took the win against the flow of play thanks to a goal from Mohamed Bayo in the 88th. The Clermontois won three very precious points in the maintenance race and came back by a length of the Trojans.
A cruel evening for ESTAC who had many opportunities, but who decisively came across Ouparine Djoco. The game ended 10 against 10, after the ouster of Alidu Seidu (70th) was penalized with a second yellow card, then Baldé (84th) for a tackle on Djoco.
Lorient beats Metz and moves away from the red zone
Denouement at the very end of the match also in Lorient. Les Merlus scored the only goal of the game in extra time (94th), thanks to Dango Ouattara. Lorient leaves the relegation zone.
The Messis remain last in the championship. They largely dominated the first period, had many opportunities and even thought to see Nicolas de Préville open the score (21st). But his goal was eventually ruled out on video for a handball.
Reims takes victory over Lille
Reims took the advantage over Lille (92nd) in added time, with a goal from Abdelhamid. With 9 points ahead of the barrage, Reims is nearly up to his maintenance.
The Rémois generally dominated the assembly. They opened the scoring thanks to Munetsi. But Lille equalized with a powerful attack from Sanches, a rare northern flash of the evening. LOSC is now 9th.
